title: Cortical dipole imaging using truncated total least squares considering transfer matrix error.
abstract: Cortical dipole imaging has been proposed as a method to visualize electroencephalogram in high spatial resolution. We investigated the inverse technique of cortical dipole imaging using a truncated total least squares (TTLS). The TTLS is a regularization technique to reduce the influence from both the measurement noise and the transfer matrix error caused by the head model distortion. The estimation of the regularization parameter was also investigated based on L-curve. The computer simulation suggested that the estimation accuracy was improved by the TTLS compared with Tikhonov regularization. The proposed method was applied to human experimental data of visual evoked potentials. We confirmed the TTLS provided the high spatial resolution of cortical dipole imaging.
